Building this 16x32 on my family land in Lodi, Tx. Have a small hunting cabin there now but I’m ready to have something nice the family can enjoy. I’ll update as progress happens.
Last days off i went out and worked 2-1/2 days getting the foundation done.
(36) 4x6 piers cemented in place and doubled up 2x6x16 treated beams. Then 2x6x16 joist 16” OC
Braced the joist before i left out for work. Will be back in a few weeks to install the sub floor and start framing walls.
Dug 12 with post hole diggers then decided to borrow a gas auger! Post are 4’ OC and beams are 5.33’ spaced
String line leveled post. Cut off with a chain saw and added beams. Ended up with in a few 1/100th of an inch of being perfectly square. (35.77’) I’ll take it and the 3/4” T&G decking will be true.
Screws a ripped 2x6 down the middle to keep the joist aligned till I can install some blocking.
Pretty much got plans finalized, I drew them on excel. Will frame a 10x 20 porch off the front with 4 natural cedar tree post.
